I LOVE this gym!! Jim, Lief (sp?), and all the trainers create not only a fierce individualized work-out for each client, but a welcome environment for ALL. In the past three months I've become stronger ? and more confident! They really are helping my fitness for life.

Starting my fitness journey at Fitness for life was such a great decision! I was very anxious to start exercising again and being in that scene, but everyone at Fitness for life has been super welcoming and friendly. Ellie is my personal trainer and she has been amazing and receptive to my goals. She is super supportive and I appreciate how she is always so encouraging! She really knows how to make me work and I love it! Fitness for life and Ellie have made my fitness journey enjoyable. 10/10 would recommend!

Love Fitness for Life! The owner, Jimmy did an initial phone consult with me and was super nice! He set me up with Ellie who spent a lot of time talking to me about my personal goals. These trainers are the best! Ellie knows how to motivate me and even puts on a Britney Spears playlist to keep me moving! I also train with Sophie one day a week and she’s awesome too! Always very encouraging! I’m always shocked when they tell me the workout is over because it goes by so fast while still being challenging. I hate working out and never liked going to the regular gym, but I’m already on my second month and going 3 days a week! #bestgymever

I have been working out with my personal trainer Leif for about 5 weeks and it has truly been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. Leif is so Awesome and Amazing and the most professional and friendly trainer I have ever encountered in my life. He truly listens and allows me to work through my struggles of my routines as he helps me ease into them with confidence. I always leave there feeling a sense of accomplishment and of course sore the next day. I mean I am feeling it in areas I didn’t even know could be reached. A shot out to everyone at Fitness for Life for being so is warm and welcoming always. I enjoy my time there so much so I have encouraged my dad -whom has now joined, I am so excited for him. Thank you for the best experience ever Fitness for Life it has definitely been a game changer and I am honestly thrilled to be a member!!!

Started with Fitness for Life 5 months ago...best decision I have made in regards to my health and workout routine! Leif has helped to not only help in relieving 4yrs of back pain but also taught me the importance of eating properly. He and Ellie have been great with encouraging me to push further and I am always comfortable there. Great attitudes and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

For years, I paid for monthly gym memberships and most of the time, I did not even go. The few times I did go, I’d cherry pick inconsistent workouts routines, form unchecked, unsafe, never pushing myself, and with minimal results.

During our free consultation, Ellie, took the time to understand my goals, current measurements, and assessment of workout experiences.
From then on, all the not so fun plannings and documenting are all done by her, who is not only an expert in the field but constantly taking upon herself to learn emerging fitness sciences.

Now 3 months in, I’ve already noticed an increase in my athleticism and endurance in my sports. To my surprise, I’ve also been feeling better and noticing natural clean energy throughout my days. I don’t find myself reaching for coffee or energy drinks and crashing midday. I feel positive and energetic. And because I am enjoying this feeling, I am trying to make more daily health conscious decisions to keep this up. This is the fitness for life I never knew I needed.

Ellie is always focusing on function and form, she is there one on one to ensure the movements are safe and that I’m doing them correctly to achieve the best results.

The thought of getting professional help never crossed my mind but I now realize how toxic and ego-fueled that mindset was. Everyone here presents an comfortable and welcoming environment where the only thing their clients has to worry about is coming in and pumping it out. I didn’t even know I was going heavier and longer until Ellie showed my progress on her files that she records. I’m glad I found a place where my trainer is just as excited for my growth as I am.

My grandma and mom both had Alzheimers, and all the books I read recommend two resistance training sessions and 150 minutes of moderate activity per week. So, three months ago, I made the difficult decision to force myself to do resistance training. I love walking, but I hated going to the gym, until I met Leif.
He hardly repeats a workout. He is very attentive and demands the best form I am capable of delivering. He adapts to my needs and is so patient. I can already feel my muscles getting stronger! I am so pleased with the experience and with the results, and hiring Leif is the best decision I made for both my physical and mental health and well-being. I actually look forward to every training session now, which would have been unimaginable for me before I began working with Leif
It has been six years since I started my training. I am so much stronger now. Committed to continue. Leif is my trainer.

I have worked with several trainers over the years and none have proved more effective and knowledgeable than Leif. He listened to what I wanted to achieve and designed a varied and challenging workout for me. He adjusts my workouts depending on my needs and is always coming up with new and interesting exercises to do. My overall strength and fitness have greatly improved and I've lost weight. His upbeat attitude and drive, and focus on form and technique have made all the difference. Leif makes exercising challenging and fun and I highly recommend him!
